Shane and Grady are standing in front of a trunk of a car

Grady: Think he's still alive?

Shane: Probably.

He opens the trunk

Shane: Yep. Still kicking.

He closes the trunk. Rick walks out of the Grimes tent.

Vivian walks towards him

Vivian: Dad?

Rick: Hey where you been?

Vivian: Checking on Beth. Are you going?

Rick: Look after your mother and brother, okay? Shane and I will be back quick.

Vivian: Do you have to take Shane with you? Why not Uncle Ian? Or Brian? Glenn, T-Dog and Grady

Rick: Trust me, I need to take Shane with me. I have to talk with him and Shane and Ian hate each other right now.

Vivian: Be careful

Rick: Always am

He kisses her forehead

Rick: I love you

Vivian: I love you too, Dad.

He walks away. She watches her go, sighing softly.

HOUSE

Lyla is cutting meat with Maggie beside her cutting tomatoes, Ian walks in

Ian: Hey you two need any help?

Maggie: No thanks.

Lyla: Ian, you talked to Brian?

Ian: No today. Why?

Lyla: Brian hasn't been the same since you got back. This isn't the first time he went into town but he says he froze. Blames me.

Maggie: Why would he blame you?

Ian: Maybe because he was scared because you said you loved him

Maggie looks at her shocked

Lyla: He told you?

Ian(chuckles): And Rick.....

Lyla: Oh God.

Maggie: Wait---wait, you love him? That's great. What matters is he came back. I'm sure you two will be okay

Lyla: I don't know. Maybe I said it too soon. I said it right before he was heading off to get dad.

Ian: Lyla, Brian's a big boy. He makes his own choices and---do you have anything to feel bad about?

Lyla shakes her head

Ian: Tell him to man up and pull himself together

Maggie: Don't say "Man Up"

Lyla smirks placing a glass of water on the tray

Lyla: It never goes well.

Ian and Maggie chuckles. Vivian walks into the kitchen and grabs the tray

Vivian: I'll take this to Beth.

She walks past Ian, Lyla sighs walking out behind her heading to the door

Ian: Love

Maggie: What about you?

Ian pours himself a glass of water.

Maggie: Did you have anyone?

Ian sighs, rolling his eyes.

Ian: No not really. Never had the best luck in relationships before. Had plenty of one night stands though.
